As with any fresh device the first couple of weeks have shaken out some bugs, here's some ongoing changes

The case was getting pretty hot especially round the bottom light. I don't think it's anything dangerous
but I decided to fit a fan to prevent any possible meltdown.

Here's a bit of acrylic I had lying around. My first hack attempt was this acrylic, two halves of
an eraser, and a lot of tape. I had to open up the case again to cut some slots so the air can
flow.

As a temporary measure it worked but being on the outside the fan was in an awkward, not to say potentially eyewatering position.
Asking around I'm steered to a Zalman low profile fan which is quieter and
half the thickness of a standard fan. A couple of strips of something from the shed, and it's fixed.

I've put tape around the edge and along the bottom to keep the air flowing where I want it to go.
It still needs some baffles inside to help steer it the right way. If I can get it working better I can
stick a regulator in there, drop the voltage down to 5v, and run the fan in quiet mode.

After a number of days of use the relatively soft acrylic is starting to show a little scuffing.
I've ordered some felt nibs for the pen to keep that in hand. I'll replace it at some point
when I can find a better plastic to use, but the soft nibs will help.

There is now a forum so that people who want to build one can share experiences and skills.
There's a few years of experience hidden in it's glossy pages.

For those that asked here's a better picture of the thang itself

I've been using it daily at home and work and it's made a real difference to my work. It's so much easier than
drawing with a standard tablet, and it makes the creation process noticably quicker.

Update- June 2007. I got a super new monitor at work and the screen looks a bit grey compared, Working in a bright office doesn't help
It might be time to find a new screen or perhaps build a bigger one, MuhhahaaahaaahAAHAA.
